A two-handed scissor-action grasping implement has a pair of clasping paddles connected to the distal ends of a pair of arms, which are pivotally connected to each other through a central pivot. The proximal ends of the arms are pressed together in order to press the clasping paddles together in a scissoring action in order to gather debris between the clasping paddles. A plurality of protrusions connected to the clasping paddles aid in capturing debris between them. The clasping paddles are oriented at inward angles relative to the arms so that the clasping paddles are flush with each other when pressed together. A forward angle of the clasping paddles may be selected by the user through a pair of fastening mechanisms through which the clasping paddles are connected to the arms. The clasping paddles may include a specified angle at one or more corners to conform to street curbs.

A lid assembly that includes at least one curved linkage coupling a button to a spout. The spout has a drinking aperture and is configured to convey a liquid to the drinking aperture. The button is configured to slide linearly between button open and button closed positions. The at least one curved linkage is configured to rotate the spout when the button slides linearly. The at least one curved linkage is configured to rotate the spout into a spout open position when the button is slid linearly into the button open position. The at least one curved linkage is configured to rotate the spout into a spout closed position when the button is slid linearly into the button closed position. The liquid is drinkable by a user from the drinking aperture when the spout is in the spout open position.

The main body includes an interior space for containing a beverage and a top wall having an inner rim which defines an opening communicated with the interior space. The cover removably seals the opening. The sucking unit is mounted within the main body adjacent to the opening and includes a partition wall extending into the interior space to define a channel which fluidly communicates the opening with the interior space.

A drinking container comprises a vessel; a cap, atop the vessel; a lid; and a hinge located proximate a rear of the lid and interconnecting the cap to the lid, to allow the lid to pivot on the cap between a closed and open position. A locking tab is at the front of the lid that engages with an inner surface of the cap, to retain the lid in the closed position. A first abutment surface is on the cap and a second abutment surface is on the lid. The first and second abutment surfaces are arranged to contact with each other as the lid is pivoted from the open position to the closed position. Contact of the first and second abutment surfaces urges the lid and the tab forward as the lid is pivoted to the closed position.

A fully sealed pouch containing a drink is provided with a straw within the pouch accessible to allow a user to draw drink from the pouch. The pouch defines a top portion, a bottom portion, and respective side edges interconnecting the top portion and the bottom portion. A corner portion is defined between the top portion and one side edge, the corner portion being openable by a user to access the straw. The pouch forms a closed cavity containing the drink, the cavity being defined by the top portion, the bottom portion, and side edges and by at least one wall defining a front face and a rear face for the cavity. The front and rear faces are connected together in the top portion. The front and rear faces are continuous with each other at, or are connected along, the other of the side edges. The front and rear faces are connected, optionally via a gusset, to provide the bottom portion. The one side edge is formed by a first heat seal connecting the front and rear faces; and a second heat seal connects the front and rear faces and extends in an incomplete fashion from the top portion to the bottom portion, being spaced inboard of the first heat seal. The second heat seal divides the interior of the cavity into major and minor portions interconnected so that drink may flow between them, the minor portion lying between the first and second heat seals, and the straw being located within this minor portion. A number of different ways are described in which the corner portion may be opened along a line of weakness formed in the pouch and extending generally parallel to the bottom portion from the first heat seal to and ending at the second heat seal.

A beverage container and a flavoring box, comprising: a container main body for accommodating a beverage; a straw, which is mounted on a mouth and neck portion of the container main body for sucking out the accommodated beverage; and a hollow annular flavoring box, which is used for accommodating flavorings and supplying the flavorings to the straw, and which is provided with a central hole part through which the straw passes. By means of the flavoring box, a favorite flavoring may be mixed into the water accommodated in the container, so that when drinking water, a user has the feeling of drinking juice, thereby improving the desire of people to drink water.
